When I was sixteen, I picked the wrong man’s pocket.
Atticus De Angelis, Head of the De Angelis’ Deviants.
He explained they were a better structured, less family orientated mafia,
and he saw potential in me for the Silent Syndicate Division.
Regular men by day. Paid hitmen at night.
No matter how successful I was, I never lost my street mentality.

He explained they were a better structured, less family orientated mafia,

Regular men by day. Paid hitmen at night.
No matter how successful I was, I never lost my street mentality.
I lived day by day with no expectations of the future.
Until she turned towards me.
The future rushed in, and I suddenly wanted it all with Serena.
I was a man obsessed, entangled in a web of loyalty and desire.
Serena
When my Italian mafia family was suddenly raided by the police, my world shattered from within.
How do you tell the people that swore to protect you, you’re being blackmailed by an undercover police officer?
The secrets I hold can never see the light of day.
If they did, this would destroy our family and everything that my grandfather has built.
I live in constant dread that my family will learn of my plight.
They offer me an arranged marriage to a man I have never met.
I only know his name, Dr. Odin Nystrom.
There’s no use in fighting it, but I am quickly approaching my breaking point.
Trying to keep up the facade is exhausting, but there is one bright spot.
In a world of chaos, my new husband is becoming my only constant.
